    To become perfect
    in Kṛṣṇa consciousness,
    means to understand Kṛṣṇa.
    Simply by understanding
    and acting accordingly,
    we can purify our existence.
    and go back home,
    back to Godhead.
    As there is national consciousness,
    community consciousness,
    family consciousness,
    so many other consciousness,
    similarly, Kṛṣṇa consciousness
    means that we agree to work
    for the satisfaction of Kṛṣṇa.
    This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
    This is oneness.

    Faith means that we are meant
    to give some service to Kṛṣṇa.
    We should stick to that service,
    that path, in spite of all impediments.
    Faith means kṛṣṇe bhakti,
    Faith means unflinching faith
    without any deviation,
    with full understanding.
    In any circumstances,
    the faith is not withdrawn.
    That is firm faith.

    Krsna fulfills the material desires
    of a devotee who approaches Him
    with such motives,
    but He does not bestow benedictions
    upon the devotee that will cause him
    to demand more benedictions again.
    However, Krsna willingly gives the devotee
    shelter at His own lotus feet,
    even though such a person
    does not aspire for it,
    and that shelter satisfies all his desires.
    This is the Krsna`s special mercy.

    Disciple means discipline.
    The word discipline comes from disciple,
    or disciple comes from discipline.
    So unless there is discipline,
    there is no question of disciple.
    Disciple means one who observes discipline.
    If one does not observe discipline,
    then he is not a disciple.
    And one who is not a disciple,
    his life is chaotic. He cannot be happy.
    A disciple means who voluntarily agrees to
    be disciplined by the spiritual master.
    When one becomes disciple,
    he cannot disobey the order of the spiritual master.
    To become disciple means to surrender,
    voluntarily accepting the instruction,
    the advice, the order of the spiritual master.

    In material existence
    one is subjected to the influence
    of the mind and the senses.
    In fact, the pure soul is
    entangled in the material world
    because the mind is involved
    with the false ego,
    which desires to
    lord it over material nature.
    Therefore, the mind
    should be trained so that
    it will not be attracted
    by the glitter of material nature,
    and in this way
    the conditioned soul
    may be saved.
    One should not degrade oneself
    by attraction to sense objects.
    The more one is attracted
    by sense objects,
    the more one becomes
    entangled in material existence.
    The best way
    to disentangle oneself
    is to always engage
    the mind in Krsna consciousness.

    Useless arguments arise
    from envy or pride,
    aversion or attachment
    to sense gratification,
    or foolishness or self-pride.
    Quarrelsome people also become
    intoxicated by useless arguments.
    While discussing topics of Lord Krishna
    and His devotees
    the practising devotee
    should always be careful
    to avoid useless arguments.

    Humility means that one should
    not be anxious to have the satisfaction
    of being honoured by others.
    The material conception of life
    makes us very eager to receive
    honour from others,
    but from the point of view
    of a man in perfect knowledge-
    who knows that he is not this body-
    anything, honour or dishonour,
    pertaining to this body is useless.
    One should not be hankering
    after this material deception.

  • HORIBOL Mataji, 2 month before i applied for a home loan to a nationalised bank in India, actually to build a temple which will be my residence also. Unfortunately one bank officer was against me. He said "I have 10 points to reject your application".
    I did not answere him.
    I directly lodged a complain to Nrisringhadeva.
    After 7 days he had been transfered to another branch and now my application has been sanctiond.
